| His godmother Madam Bodenhoff was one
of the wealthiest women in Denmark, only 19 years old and already a
widow. She had married Andreas Bodenhoff at the age of 17, but he died
soon after. And then she herself died only six months after being
godmother to Jens Malthe. More here, in English More in Danish |

| Maid-in-Waiting Matthiesen may be related to Birgitha Mathiesen, first wife of Johan Winther, who was Elisabeth Wiborg's first husband. | ||
| The three godfathers: Councillor Philip Lange was a prominent architect and builder, son of an even more famous architect Philip de Lange. Carsten Friis is very probably the brother of Malthe Friis, married to Mariane Wiborg who is probably Elisabeth Wiborg's sister or other close relation. Any information on "Capitaine Jørgensen ved Søe-Etaten" would be welcome. |
